Right before Hensley Meulens was hired, I wondered aloud if hitting coaches mattered a whole lot. I’m still not sure about that one. But when the new guy makes a player like Bengie Molina say this…
"For all my career, I've been very aggressive," Molina said. "But, yes, I want to work on taking some more pitches. The more pitches you see, the better you should be. Hopefully it works."
…hey, at least it’s a little encouraging. Yeah, "I want to take more pitches," is right up there with "Best shape of his life!" when it comes to spring clichés, but there’s also that famous, unfairly scrutinized data point:
- Bowker in 2007: 41 walks in 587 plate appearances.
- Bowker in 2008: 26 walks in 452 plate appearances.
- Bowker after working with Meulens in 2009: 78 walks in 523 plate appearances.
John Bowker wanted to improve his patience. He worked with Meulens. Bowker improved his patience. But while Meulens is batting 1.000 in warm ‘n’ fuzzy OBP anecdotes, it’s with a sample size of one. I still don’t know what to think.
When I want players to be more patient – and I think I speak for most of the internet baseball nerd consortium on this – I’m not just hoping they’ll take more pitches. The idea isn’t to accumulate the highest percentage of pitches seen outside of the strike zone, it’s to a) get better pitches to hit, and b) not help the pitcher by swinging at garbage. By doing a. and b., the walks will come naturally. Outside of a few speedsters and utility guys, no one is actively trying to get a walk in every at-bat. It seems as if this is closer to Meulens’s philosophy than is something silly like "get ‘em early in the count." So I’m cautiously optimistic about the effects he might have.
But something else I’d like the Giants to do, from the front office on down, is to seek out evidence when forming an opinion. Realize that the human brain is fallible. When the brain says, "Fred Lewis takes too many pitches," try to figure out if there is anything that can support that claim other than a loose feeling. Because the premise isn’t ridiculous – if a hitter isn’t doing anything with the pitches he’s forcing pitchers to throw in the strike zone, he isn’t fulfilling his potential. But Lewis is swinging at plenty of pitches in the strike zone. His Z-Swing % – defined by FanGraphs as "percentage of pitches a batter swings at inside the strike zone" – is near the league average at 69.6%. When a pitcher throws a strike to Fred Lewis, Lewis is swinging just as often as the next guy.
I’m not trying to be tricky by substituting the word "evidence" for "stats." I just want to get rid of feelings and hunches. Last year, the monster under the bed was poorly executed bunt attempts and other Little Things, and that was a totally bogus and made-up problem. The Giants were wasting time trying to find the Magic Wyvern-Repelling Laser Gun in case they were attacked by wyverns, but they were doing it when the place was on fire.
More patience is good, so I hope for good things from Meulens and his fresh approach. It would also be great if the Giants stopped paying attention to unsupported opinions. Maybe a combination of the two would lead to better execution, better player evaluation, and an offense that can score more than 700 runs.
Better players wouldn’t hurt either, but let’s not get crazy.

Well… is spring training showing anything with the younger guys or Molina concerning hitting? So far i see them as a little bit more patient, getting some hits in RBI situations

Say whatever you will about Huff and DeRosa
Last year, the Giants BB rate was 6.5%.
Pablo Sandoval’s walk rate was 8.2.
We all know Huff had a shitty season last year, but his walk rate was still 8.5%
Derosa’s was 8.2%.
These are guys who are, at least, league average at taking a walk. Hopefully, between them and Bam Bam, we’ll get that OBP up.

My Son was the third most valuable Giant position player by WAR in 2009. A little sad, a little happy.
This wouldn’t affect concerns about organizational philosophy though, assuming (as I do) that the Giants weren’t looking at Derosa’s and Huff’s walk rates as much as Derosa’s 21 homeruns last year and Huff’s 32 in 2008, along with their RBI. So while you are probably right, I don’t think the Giants will pay attention to that.

The Giants spent $23 million dollars this offseason.
The Giants Way™"If anybody deserves credit for this year’s turnaround it’s these two people, Brian and Bruce," Neukom said. "The encouraging thing is we think we’re back to playing baseball the way it ought to be played."
Honestly, that sounds like the exact same logic the Giants used to dump Garko. A player has a horrible two months after a trade (mostly due to poor results on balls in play), and that justifies…what, exactly? Those OBPs are there because of abnormally bad batting averages, not their walk rates, which were almost identical to last year. Which has more predictive power?
But maybe you were just throwing out a number to be contrary – that’s fine, too. I’m not seeing DeRosa or Huff as major contributors, but they have a better chance to be league average than most guys in this lineup. That’s an improvement.
I'm as tall as Mel - why can't I hit 500 home runs?
If you think the Giants actually applied that logic to all three cases (which wasn’t my point of getting across), then the Giants would not have signed Huff or DeRosa after non-tendering Garko a contract. My point was that these two players are on the wrong side of their career and are showing signs of decline. They will not likely improve as they age. Expecting two aging veterans to get us back to a league-average offense IS the exact same logic the Giants used to dump Ryan Garko.
And they have a slim chance to be an improvement over Fred Lewis (.348 OBP last year) and Ryan Garko (.344) both of whom turn 29 this year. Both could have been had for cheaper and we could have spent $23 million dollars on areas that needed improving.
The Giants Way™"If anybody deserves credit for this year’s turnaround it’s these two people, Brian and Bruce," Neukom said. "The encouraging thing is we think we’re back to playing baseball the way it ought to be played."
Where's Derosa's signs of decline?
The only thing I’ve seen is a 2nd half of 2009 where he was playing with an injured wrist that required surgery. Prior to that he put up the best 3.5 years of his career OPS+wise.
Proudly adopted Aubrey Huff. You can't beat that!
The wrist injury is a sign of a decline in expected production for the upcoming season.
The Giants Way™"If anybody deserves credit for this year’s turnaround it’s these two people, Brian and Bruce," Neukom said. "The encouraging thing is we think we’re back to playing baseball the way it ought to be played."
Okay, so I guess I missed your point. But come on – all you did was point out an unfavorable OBP based on a tiny sample size for two players who, whatever their faults, are not bad at getting on base. They’re average. That’s all.
I’m just taking issue with your choice of data – I actually thought you meant it kind of flippantly, but I can never tell with words typed on a screen, so I took them at face value. Was I wrong?
I'm as tall as Mel - why can't I hit 500 home runs?
Well it was a whole season of sample size. Their most reason season. When players are on the downside of their careers it’s kind of wishful thinking to go beyond that. Hoping for their career #’s is wishful thinking. As Giants fans we should know that.

I've never been happier to have Crabs
32 or 34 or whatever isn’t a magic number, though – people age differently in all sorts of ways. Some guys tank well before 30, some guys last well beyond. Okay, sure, play the odds, don’t bet on guys to have career years after 30. But where is thinking they’ll be somewhere around their career averages wishful thinking? I looked at Fangraphs’ little collection of projections for both guys and not a single projection has either Huff or DeRosa projected to be below 100 wRC+.
This is what I see – both players were a bit below their normal level before being traded (moreso for Huff), and hit pretty poorly afterwards. In DeRosa’s case you had pretty clear evidence of an injury being the problem. But their walk numbers didn’t change – their BABIP did. For both guys, it was way below their career average. Now, unless they’ve completely and utterly fallen apart and can no longer hit a major league fastball, that BABIP is likely to improve. Further, of all their skills, their BB% is the one skill that won’t degrade with age. So it really looks like you are basing this view off a sample of primarily 117 ABs for Huff, and 262 for DeRosa. I hardly consider that representative or their real talent level.
I guess I just don’t see it being so cut and dried. Expecting something like their career norms seem pretty reasonable to me, and with Huff at 1B clanking away that will be pretty bad, and DeRosa, wherever he is, it will be pretty good. It’s possible that they both go all Edgardo Alfonzo on us, but they could also do the Ray Durham bounceback.
Eh, maybe I am just an optimist.
I'm as tall as Mel - why can't I hit 500 home runs?
Flippant though? Maybe. There was no game today. Kind of put me in a mood. I’ll probably be telling everyone to stop being so negative tomorrow.
YOUR LOSING ME OTT!
The Giants Way™"If anybody deserves credit for this year’s turnaround it’s these two people, Brian and Bruce," Neukom said. "The encouraging thing is we think we’re back to playing baseball the way it ought to be played."
Ha. Yeah, well, maybe flippant wasn’t the right word.
For every argument I have for either of those guys hitting well, I can see the crash and burn side being almost as persuasive. Maybe it’s seeing guys like Shea Hillenbrand show up here and suddenly become the worst version of themselves that jades us. I try to fight it, but every once in a while I wonder if there’s a little vortex in the Giants’ clubhouse that sucks the hitting ability out of every bat that Sabean trades for.
I'm as tall as Mel - why can't I hit 500 home runs?
I believe (an unsupported opinion) that a batting coach has more influence on the younger players on your team. So as soon as they get plenty of at bats we’ll see how good of a job Meulens is doing. As soon as that happens…

Hoping for BowkerMania to hit AT&T Park in 2010
I was very impressed with Meulens’ Q&A session this year at Fan Fest. He had a very calm attitude that I imagine would work better with many of the older players than a guy who barks orders at them. He reminded a bit of teachers I’ve had and liked in the past, and hopefully some of the players will see him that was as well. More importantly, though, he said what I wanted to hear. He talked about what Grant mentioned, which was specifically getting better pitches to hit and not making things harder for yourself as a hitter. He also said that he knew he couldn’t radically change most of the players because they were too far into their careers at this point. He said that a player like Bengie Molina will never get a lot of walks in a season, but he might be able to learn to be more selective at the plate. And lastly, he also specifically cited the OBP of the minor league guys when talking about their merits, which is surprising to hear from anyone in this organization.
I don’t know how much a hitting coach does matter in the end, but I’m still glad the Giants have a guy like Meulens in the position.
I’m optimistic that Hensley will make a significant difference – to the players that are willing to listen. Who those guys are, we can only guess. But I’m thrilled so far with the Meulens hiring.

Pitch recognition
Patience is one thing, but knowing which pitch to hit is another.
That’s what made BLB so good.
Whether he is on the team or not, I’m saying FLew will be the best in that category (right behind Panda of course)
Tommy Joseph is the Dingerzball Wizard
The problem (problem not capitalized!) is that Lewis doesn’t have half the hand-eye coordination that BLB had. He was towards the bottom of the league in zone-contact. So while he has good strike zone judgement, he does not hit the ball as frequently as he should, likely leading to his high K totals.

Quote from the ESPN article:
the 49ers will lean more heavily on director of player personnel Trent Baalke and director of pro personnel Tom Gamble, who are widely respected in NFL circles.
How is someone “widely regarded”? Do people think that these gentlemen are obese? Or are they just big-boned? I think the term you were looking for is “highly regarded”. Highly. Or well. Not obesely.

It’s the bane of selecting an email handle at a young age. I’ve always considered 7 to be my lucky number for various reasons to be explained elsewhere, and at the time my favorite song was Metallica’s cover of “Breadfan.”
Now, years later, I still get jokes about my food preference or if I like the 70s band named Bread, but I’ve used the stupid thing in so many places it would be almost more of a hassle to start over.
So actually, I just beat up the other six and took their lunch money.

So my follow question would be, not necessarily to you, but to the public:
Does anyone know who makes the final decisions on draft day if something crazy happens and a player falls into their lap? Is that where the GM would make the final call? And if so, who will be handling that on draft day?

Nothing Wes Craven ever did held a candle to Elm Street… but he kept attaching his name to terrible films

for example. That’s not a real movie. Anyway it was THIS VERY MOVIE (with the clip of the old lady getting killed with a basketball) that convinced me that having Wes Craven’s name on something was not really a sign of quality. Even for a slasher pic.

That’s our conclusion, but we no longer have an “unobstructed view of the southern sky” …so until we can afford to buy a house we’re kinda stuck. AT&T U-verse doesn’t exist here.
Yeah, we switched from the Tivo DVR to the Comcast one a while back, and hated it. Unresponsive to the remote, bad menus… We ended up switching back to our Tivo. Now we’ve got DirecTV and got their DVR. Also sucks. Unresponsive to the remote, somewhat complicated menus… But still not nearly as horrid as Comcast’s DVR. But the big thing is the cost is all bundled, so it’s not as big a deal.
I'm thinking but nothing's happening.
I’ve only used Tivo at other people’s houses and am stuck with Comcast at home, but Tivo is so much better it’s ridiculous. I’ve gotten used to the Comcast by now, but it’s still really frustrating sometimes.
Merope, can’t you use a Tivo DVR with Comcast cable? I’m fairly certain this is my cousin’s setup.

When I want players to be more patient – and I think I speak for most of the internet baseball nerd consortium on this – I’m not just hoping they’ll take more pitches. The idea isn’t to accumulate the highest percentage of pitches seen outside of the strike zone, it’s to a) get better pitches to hit, and b) not help the pitcher by swinging at garbage. By doing a. and b., the walks will come naturally.
Well I think the Moneyball segment of the nerd consortium also sees value in raising the pitch count on the starting pitchers.
"The questions are so stupid. I don't believe in rivalries. I don't believe in curses. Wake up the damn Bambino, maybe I'll drill him in the ass."
- Pedro Martinez, asked about the Curse of the Bambino
as noted occasionally in Giants disaster games
it also helps a team rest their own starter if their lineup isn’t retired on 3 pitches.
I get very upset when Cain or Lincecum (hell, any starter) is mowing down the opposition and barely has time to sit down before his teammates have hacked themselves out of an inning.

Ok… yea dude, MLB 2005 was AWESOME, but from 2k9 to 2k10, they fixed all the glitches, so it’s much smoother, i love the presentation of the game, all the stadiums are pretty tight. They have a game flow chart everytime i pause which is cool, i think it’s tough to get used to, but in my opinion, i’d give it like a 7.5/10, so if you actually have the money, go for it, but it’s not worth going after if you can’t afford it

I think that if you’re getting to the point where you’re making something like 6 or 7 OT comments in a row (like you did here), you might want to think if this is really the appropriate place for it. Asking people what they had for lunch/dinner is one thing, but I don’t think I’m the only person who doesn’t really think that MCC main page posts should be like your facebook status updates. YMMV.

I know they’re out of fashion, but I’d really like a higher capacity player. 16GB might do the trick, but 32+ would be ideal. Which is parts one and two of the reason I don’t have one. Part one being that higher capacity players are more expensive. And part two being that, really, only Apple and Microsoft make them any good.
I’ve had my eye on a Samsung P3, but I’m pretty sure they don’t sell it anywhere. And even if they did, it’s still a lot of cash.

We won a free iPod shuffle a while back. I’d plugged it in to my computer to try it out a while back, and copied some music over to it, gave it a test listen… Then put it back in the drawer never to be used again.
I once had a co-worker tell me that once I’ve used an iPod, I’ll never know how I lived without one. I submit to you that, having been given an iPod, I STILL don’t know how I’d ever use one!
I'm thinking but nothing's happening.
I’ve owned CD player, MD player, and a few Creative MP3 players until last month when I got an iPod Touch. I wanted something for note-taking and sketching on the go, in addition to musics. It’s a nice little gadget but not a life changer.

Counter-Anecdote
from Schulman’s notebook the other day:
Velez is coming off a nice run toward the end of last season after a long banishment to Triple-A, where he worked with Hensley Meulens on his plate approach
My Bucardo is better than yours.
A hot August weekday, before a small crowd, when the only thing at stake is the tissue-thin difference between a thing done well and a thing done ill. Insofar as the clutch hitter is not a sportswriter's myth, it is a vulgarity, like a writer who writes only for money.
I'm not going to be near a computer tonight, so I'd like to offer up a preemptive:

My adopted son is RHP Steve Edlefsen, currently above Gerald Posey on the catching depth chart.

While etymologically correct, not recognized as a definition by Merriam-Webster.
Sometimes I really wish I still had access to the OED, because it would probably say that M-W can suck it.

The OED agrees with the M-W on this one: “a meal eaten in the morning, the first meal of the day”. That is all the OED has to say.
In the end, America will be remembered for three things: the Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.

And some meals often associated with breakfast actually taste better at night. Pancakes with a cup of coffee is actually better as a dinner. The same with biscuits & gravy.

Rooting for Jose Casilla to take his K- and GB-inducing skills to the majors and join his brother.
The Kids: Lewis, Posey, Sandoval, Bowker, Schierholtz, Frandsen, Ishikawa, Amezaga... CHONE WAR projection= 12.7
Current Team: Rowand, Sanchez, DeRosa, Sandoval, Huff, Molina, Renteria, Schierholtz... CHONE WAR projection= 12.6
"Deep in the count"
It’s simple, really: MAKE THE PITCHER WORK. Giants have a unhappy habit of making Joe Sixpack look like Greg Maddux. Too many 7-pitch innings. It’s not about accumulating walks, it’s about making the guy on the hill uncomfortable and impatient.
